just bought an Erisin for my mk5 gti
« on: December 23, 2015, 05:59:17 pm »
http://www.erisin.com/erisin-es2698v-vw-car-dvd-sat-nav-passat-golf-touran-caddy-jetta-seat_p565.html

went for this model, I did want the 8" screen but my wife prefers the buttons on the bottom as that's where they are now, tbh I agree with her!
really excited, the current VW unit is just a CD player & now I have Spotify premium I no longer buy the latest Cds, so hopefully this will be as awesome as everone elses on here!

Are you able to put up a video when you've installed? I was looking at getting the exact same head unit (some of the others have old versions of Android and are non quad core).  :happy2:

I like the way it looks oem

Mine seems fine mate. I can't complain so far. It links with my phone fine and I can use it as a hands free kits and that works spot on too. Definitely can't complain for £155

Nice!
I went for an android OS as I really want Spotify & Waze on the unit, hopefully I'll get mine in time to fit it tomorrow, if I do I'll post pics of the install & a review.
I struggled to find a decent review on my particular unit, but the older Android 4.2.2 got some excellent reviews on here. :happy2:

Looks awesome, how is the fitment? Will it play MP3s from a memory card or Bluetooth stream music from and iPhone/ iPod?

I have an 05 golf with older canbus, would not still be a straight swap or do I need to program it to the car :-/.

Thanks

I didn't have to program mine. Yeah I can stream music and take calls through the Bluetooth it's got an sd card slot too so I'd think you could play music that way. It also comes with a USB lead that plugs into the back so I'd imagine you could plug a memory stick into that for music
The fitment is as good as factory
